🌱 For those who have a tendency to experience frustration, or compassion fatigue when trying to support others who are not yet ready for change. Be gracious to yourself when you recognize that you may be trying harder than the other person. Boundaries that protect emotional well being is crucial to our mental health.

🪴 Reflecting on our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can help us understand how we view ourselves. Learning how to notice our body’s responses can further our awareness.

🦋 Society may look down on your cultural experiences or try to convince you to ditch your culture in favor of the majority culture. Unfortunately, this occurs in the mental health field as well, even from well meaning therapists, and which disproportionately affects more BIPOC people (black, indigenous, people of color).

In my practice, I feel strongly about providing a space for you to explore your cultural experiences and identity in your mental health journey. Your story. Your traditions. Your beliefs. What it means for generations before you to contribute to your strengths and struggles.

As a Filipina American woman, I understand what it can feel like to have a complex relationship with cultural experience and identity. I also understand what it’s like to find connection and value with my culture, which continues to be a lifelong commitment.

I want you to have a space for conversations about your own cultural experiences in your mental health journey. I want you to be able to explore what it may be like to feel pressure or shame to grasp on to other cultures for a sense of identity, to struggle with the feeling of “otherness”, or what it’s like to feel the push and pull of your values and beliefs in the presence of the oppressive majority. Let it be a part of your healing.

Song Translation:
“Island woman rise, walang makakatigil (nothing can stop you).
Brown, brown, woman, rise alamin ang yung ugat (know your roots)”

🪴For those who find themselves in a loop of negative self talk. When you make mistakes, or when something goes wrong, you may talk down on yourself in ways that you may never even consider speaking to other people. This may lead to self doubt, and more anxiety and frustration, affecting your self esteem.

How we speak to ourselves contributes to our beliefs about ourselves. As you learn to respond to your inner critic, remember to be gentle with you.

🪴A friendly reminder that growth and change also happens outside of the therapy session. Allowing ourselves to be curious and reflective on our own time, practice coping skills outside of therapy, or even learning practices from others, whether they be spiritual, cultural, or from other healers could help support the the growth process 🌻

💜 Yes, your therapist has multiple degrees and has trained hard in their profession, but remember that you are the expert of yourself. No one else can tell you what you are feeling or what it’s like living in your body. Your therapist can help guide you in reflection, self discovery, and encourage you to challenge yourself, but in the end you are the one who creates your growth and change. 🌱

Oftentimes, we cannot simply talk through our trauma. Our bodies hold knowledge, memories, pain, pleasure, potential, power. Let your body be a part of your healing journey, whether it be through mindfulness, somatic work, ancestral practices, yoga, physical self care, to name a few.

✨Yes, the “I don’t know” feeling is uncomfortable and frustrating. However, this feeling often comes before a time of potential change, self discovery, and growth.

✨You don’t have to go through the “I don’t know” by yourself. Therapy can help guide you so that you can engage in purposeful, meaningful discovery.

Anxiety can be more than just over thinking and worrying. We experience anxiety in our bodies as well as our minds. We may develop belief systems, behaviors, and traits over time that may become unhelpful.

Yes, many people experience anxiety, but that doesn’t mean you have to normalize your pain. You can grow, heal, and change. There are skills that you can learn to manage.

You deserve therapy.
